I now notice that Thunderbird 0.8 now is one hour fast. ie 8:20 am. is shown as 9:30 am. Looks like thunderbird is not interperating the TZ variable the same as eCS. As I recall from over six months ago, the same thing was happening, and the difference in times vanished when we reverted back to standard time. Is everyone seeing the same effect? Time now is 08:29 regards Dennis. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Mon, 01 Nov 2004 10:36:34 +1100 (EDT) From: "Ian Manners" Subject: Re: Computer time Hi Dennis >I now notice that Thunderbird 0.8 now is one hour fast. ie 8:20 am. is >shown as 9:30 am. >Looks like thunderbird is not interperating the TZ variable the same as eCS. Try tzset03.zip available here :- http://www.os2site dot com/sw/apps/time/tzset03.zip And put at tzset at the start of your startup.cmd, this sets the TZ correct variable. I'm not using Thunderbird, or eCS at present but I suspect this is what you need. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
